Cook the pasta until barely al dente according to package directions. Add the
broccoli, and cook for another 30 seconds, or just until the broccoli is bright
green and crisp-tender. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Place the
pasta mixture in a large bowl. Add the crab meat or shrimp, pepper, and
